Visual only, drives not required, I use the slow motion controls more than the drives. Vixen GP2 Vixen GP D2Meade LXD75Losmandy GM-8

Also looking for recs on an Az-Alt mount for this scope. Like I said, I want this for a quick look scope, and I really like the slow motion manualcontrols for those times I don't want to drag out the power, that's most of the time. The GP2 looks the best at $699.00. I could add the Goto later if needed. Is this mount good for the TAK?

thanks!

How about a Giro III? I mount my Tak FS-128 on one, it's exceptionally good. There is one on AstroMart right now.

I had my TSA mounted on a Lapides modified Teegul and loved it. The slow motion controls worked great even at very high magnifications. I eventually added a set of encoders to make hunting down double-stars easier. I had a real blast with this setup.

I've used a TSA-102 on a Tak-Lapides Alt-Az and I thought that it was a wonderful setup. As long as you have a sturdy tripod that mount handles the TSA-102 really well. Gotta love the slo-mo controls...

I think I got a pretty good deal for $865.00 delivered!!
to replace this today would cost me about $2300.00. They told me this was basically a 10 yr old mount their customer never used. I don't think a scope was ever mounted on this thing, there is not a mark on it. the motors controller and battery pack were sealed in the factory bot I also prefer the green GPs over the current white version. SCORE!!!!
